It is said that once Nynenve was a goddess primarily of the elves, but many throughout the empire have come to worship her, for her domain lies in the hearts and loves of mankind. She is invoked at weddings and in the secret oaths of lovers, and legends say that she sometimes intervenes to protect those who fight adversity for the sake of their love. But like love itself, she is sometimes a hard goddess, forcing those who follow her to make difficult choices. She has been known to answer the prayers of spurned or jilted lovers who beg for revenge against the one who broke their hearts, and doesn't always act as the benevolent goddess that most assume her to be.

In addition to her interests in matters of love, Nynenve is a goddess of family and the home. Many households show a shrine to Nynenve somewhere near their hearth. It is said in legends that Nynenve will sometimes travel the world in mortal guise, asking hospitality of strangers. If she finds one of her shrines in their home in this way, she may be moved to bless her hosts with increased fertility or prosperity.

Nynenve is always depicted as a beautiful figured woman with her features concealed behind a flowing veil. Her worship ranges from ecstatic parties where the participants carouse until they drop, to quiet rituals of oaths and pledges. Even though she is worshipped throughout the Empire now, she is still especially loved by the Elves and Satyrs.
